Yes, that's true and it solves my problem. Thanks for pointing that out. On a side note, is there any advantage to referencing the action path when using validator versus using the form-bean and setting validate to false in the config file?

The ValidatorForm will match the formset name with the form-bean name. The ValidatorActionForm will match the formset name with the actionmapping path. -----Original Message----- From: Pete Gieser [mailto:pgieser@;tampabay.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 1:07 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: problem with client-side validation and ValidatorActionForm I misread your configurations. Upon further review, it looks like you are putting the action instead of the form name in your validation and jsp form name property. i.e., you should have > > <formset> > > <form name="contactInfoForm"> > > <field property="companyName" depends="required"> > > <arg0 key="contactInfo.companyName.displayName" /> > > </field> > > </form> > > </formset> > > > > > > The javascript output when I add <html:javascript > > formName="contactInfoForm"/> to my jsp starts out like this: > > Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
